Update on Recent Adoptee, Buster!

Handsome Buster!
Buster was adopted just last month, in May. 

"He's doing well . We let him off leash in the yard to play ball and "frisbee" and he's good about staying around. We need to get the invisible fence system going though because if he sees someone walking or jogging by or another dog, he's off to greet them! He's learned to stay off the furniture/beds and mostly doesn't jump up on his family members but we're still working on his manners with strangers -- he gets way too excited and can't control his urge to jump. I try to take him for a walk everyday -- today we went for 40 minutes and that was good for him. He and the old cat don't bother with each other at all. The young cat seems to dominate over Buster. Sometimes Buster gets trapped in a room because the cat is laying by the doorway. He seems to favor me as his "person" but likes to be with Dan and the kids too. So, I think we've all adapted OK with having a dog in our family!"
